Abstract: Circuit for driving a load, comprising: two input terminals for connection to a source of a supply voltage; a first and a second output terminal for connection to the load; at least one inductor coupled between one of the output terminals and a corresponding connection node; at least one arrangement comprising a switch coupled between one of said input terminals and one of said connection nodes, a diode being connected between said one connection node and the other input terminal; a control unit for controlling said one or more switches; wherein each arrangement and corresponding diode are designed to allow the voltage over the opened switch of said arrangement to return to substantially zero before said switch is closed, the control unit being designed to provide a signal for closing the switch when a substantially zero voltage over said opened switch is detected. Turning the switch on at a substantially zero voltage means that switching losses are greatly reduced, and this without complicating the circuit.

Abstract: There is disclosed an actuation mechanism for actuating a power tool. The actuation mechanism comprises a cable assembly comprising at least one outer cable (41) arranged coaxially around an inner cable (40), wherein the inner cable (40) is adapted to slide axially relative to the outer cable (41). The actuation mechanism also comprises at least one electrical contact (42) connected to the cable assembly and a plurality of switch members (51, 54) connected to the cable assembly. In use, actuation of at least one predetermined one of the switch members causes the inner cable to move relative to the outer cable to close the electrical contact and actuate the power tool. By providing a coaxial cable assembly, having inner and outer cables connected to a plurality of switch members and arranged such that movement of the inner and outer cables relative to one another closes the electrical contact (42), this provides the advantage that a power tool with a two handed dual-switching mechanism can be actuated without the need for two independent electrical contacts wired in series, thereby reducing the amount of electrical wiring and components needed. <IMAGE>

Abstract: A description is given of a high frequency filter comprising microstrips. The filter comprises at least two resonators ( 16, 18 ) which each have, as frequency-determining elements, a first straight microstrip section ( 28 ) and a second straight microstrip section ( 30 ), which are parallel next to each other, and also a capacitor assembly ( 22 ). In each resonator the capacitor assembly is connected between first ends of the microstrip sections and each resonator is exclusively connected to ground at the second ends of the microstrip sections. In each resonator ( 16, 18 ) the sum of the two microstrip sections acts as inductive lement. The resonators ( 16, 18 ) therefore act in the same manner as a resonator having a single microstrip, the length of which corresponds essentially to the sum of the lengths of the first microstrip section ( 28 ) and the second microstrip section ( 30 ). This construction of a filter allows a shorter design compared to conventional filter structures.
